THE ADMINISTRATION The hub of our school is the administrative body. Any hour of the day that we walk into one of the offices, we may hear the clicking of typewriters and see the office girls, whom we have come to know so well, busily at work distributing our locker keys, arranging our program schedules, writing our admits, and doing many routine tasks which help to make our school run smoothly. Miss Hoke, the head of the administration, and Mr. Asher, her assistant, also devote much time and energy to making the school a place where its chief functions, teaching and learning, may be effectively performed by teachers and students. Virginia Shepherd FLOYD G. ASI-IER lvlr. Asher, our assistant principal, is a man who can face with unruffled calm the myriad demands for supplies, books, and repairs, and do the count- less other tasks that go with caring ' for the material part of school admin- istration. In matters of attendance, he is undaunted even by the problems which epidemics and spring fever create. His sane, logical judgment and understanding sympathy have led teachers and students alike to seek his advice about subjects as varied as school life itself. Marilynn Salon Page eleven

Page ton lVliss l-loke's excellent perception of the student's viewpoint is the result of the fact that her education did not cease with the procuring of her degree from the University of Southern California. At the present time she is continuing her formal education in her special field at the University of Chicago, and her cultural background is augumented by constant reading in many fields. Her active observation in other schools, and her membership on the State Board of Education also help her to keep abreast of educational trends. lt is through her foresight and courage that we students of Lew Wallace have the advantages of a program that includes vocational, personal, educational, and social guidance. Through her indefatigable energy. formative ideas are put into practical operation here at Lew Wallace. Marilynn Salon
